Despite having played SS several times before, and having done very well with it... I have never had the chance to use the Robber Baron scanner. I am entering a game as a replacement, and I have it now!

So my questions:



Ok. Here goes...


Quote:


Does the Robber Baron's ability to steal minerals from planets effect only itself, or the fleet that contains it? (i.e. can I send along a bunch of cheap LFs with the fleet to get more minerals...)



Fleet that contains it. Might actually not even require that - just having a RB-equipped ship in orbit giving access for any fleet you have there.

Does a starbase need to be knocked down to steal minerals from a planet?



No.

Quote:


Can I upload minerals WP0, WP1, or both?



Best is to do it manually. WP0 and WP1 orders may or may not work correctly. This has been an issue affecting the last few Stars! patches.

Can I upload minerals from a planet that is not owned?



No. Has to be an inhabited planet. (If you bring a remote miner along you can access uninhabited planets; like ones that recently experienced a heavy fall of cherry bombs.)
